The Syrians' bravado is laughing at them.
Reader comment on item: A Turning Point in the Arab-Israeli Conflict?
Submitted by batya dagan (United States), May 15, 2011 at 20:25
What is it with the Syrians? Don't they have a war going with Assad, their leader?Are they doing this because they think that he will be happy and will stop killing them?Do they think that Israel is afraid of them? Israel is not their problem,their ruler is.Their non existing economy is.
Time and again we are shocked to see how dumb Arabs can be.They cannot afford playing war games with Israel but their ridiculous bravado is actually laughing at them.
